After being disappointed by the CentOS5.2 LiveCD
kit I'm pleased to report that the Gentoo-based
SystemRescueCD does not suck.  I found it remarkably
easy to customize to our needs and the same CD
(well, DVD in our case) can boot either a 32- or
64-bit kernel (particularly useful in our case) and,
so far, it exhibits no rude behaviors like auto-mounting
my raw RAID mirrors or failing to find my drives...
